HANDLING AND TRANSPORTATION
Extended Storage
If the equipment is stored for an extended period of time (6 months or more) before installation for an
undefined date, new considerations should be taken, in addition to the recommendations in the previous
section “Storage”:
• The equipment shall be protected under cover, by means of an external protector or by the method
adapted to the local conditions which prevents condensation and humidity inside the equipment.
• Draining bags shall be included inside the equipment to prevent moisture from damaging electronic
components. These shall be replaced when storage conditions require it.
• A clearance shall be left around the equipment so that inspections can be undertaken.
• Periodic inspections should be performed when possible. Proper internal cleanness must also be
checked.
Tasks shown above are standard and they are not applicable to all weather conditions. In those plants
where customer considers extreme weather conditions, these requisites should be adjusted for each
particular case, as well as the maximum storage time for these conditions.
Unpackaging
During the unpackaging, remove carefully the packaging (do not use sharp tools). After removing the
packaging, check the material inside. If you receive replacement parts with the product, please separate
and store it in a safe place.
Waste disposal is customer’s responsibility, and it is not within Power Electronics’ scope.
Handling and transportation
Follow the handling and transportation requirements described here. Any other method of transport
or handling could damage the unit or void the warranty.
During handling and transport, the goods must not be exposed to moisture, overturned, inverted,
inclined or impacted.
The elevation angle should be less than 90°.
Avoid sudden movements and jerking during lifting. Stop the load just before placing it on the
ground and then lower the equipment slowly to avoid knocks. Otherwise, the equipment may get
damaged.
The equipment has a lifting tool with hoist rings located at the upper part of the tool. To lift them,
slings must be attached to each ring. Also, the slings must be firmly attached to the crane.
